Dear community,

i want to create a reverse proxy to protect my backend where my corporate site is hosted with wordpress.

So far i found this tutorial:

https://kinsta.com/blog/reverse-proxy/
Are there any additional changes i need to consider to have no leaks of my backend?

Is there maybe a script which creates a reverse proxy automatically? I will change them regularly.

You can do this with a web server Apache or Nginx.

Yes that works but the nginx config they gave might not support all websites or servers. You have to tweak.

Good luck

Your reverse proxy connection cannot be leaked instead your whole website will be down which keeps on trying to connect reverse proxy only. You cannot really find root machine when its connected to reverse proxy. And i am talking about visitors here not the root admin
